First time using duracoat. Used the Aerosol kit in Combat Gray and I'm very happy with how it turned.

Stripped the receiver of whatever black gunk it was coated with, came off with little effort. Wire wheeled some tricky spots and sanded everything with 380 grit. Anodized parts were scuffed with 600grit. Cleaned everything with generous amounts of 3m Brake cleaner and then wiped everything down with automotive paint prep.  Hung in the garage and Sprayed.

The can-in-can aerosol worked very well and sprayed smooth. It comes with an extra spray button which was nice as it clogged mid second coat. Everything got 3 coat, top part of rail ended up getting 5 as it had some wierd spots that were hard to get.

I let it hang for two days and then sit for 1 week before reassembly. Got back together with no scratches but I'm going to wait a month before I take it out to the range.

Overall I'm very happy for a total cost of about $60 (including all the brake cleaner I bought)

Looks good - subtle, but good.
I too have had very good experiences with the Duracoat Aerosol product.

Great job, Duracoat seems to be a good product. I have used it on several applications.
